You are confusing The Gate and The Greeters. The Gate is all business, they check tickets, inspect for stow-aways and such. Greeters are further down the line, they greet you and hand you your map and WWW, Spanks on the ass, optional.

Noting the serious tone of my reply ... that's for the truly earnest newb scouring these boards for information.

Chihuahuas are allowed if filleted and wrapped in bacon first, to be grilled later. Yum, tasty. Not humanitarian at all, I don't eat humans. Unless they ask nicely.

Greeting Is SUPER FUN!!!!!! Lots of swag, and gifts you get to meet the alot of the people in the City... People reconize you thur out the week- always great to have some, VIrgin run up to ya and tell ya THANK YOU and all about their week...

I would love some bacon wrapped Chihuahuas...
oh yes!! Greeters are very tasty indeed... I would say at least three are needed thur out the week to maintain a balanced diet....
